There are a number of reasons twitter is my favourite social network. I guess it comes down to choice. But there are a few things that sets twitter apart from other social networks that puts twitter on a different level than other social networks.

Fast

Some social networks are just so slow. Not just the loading of the pages but the movement is slow. Take for example Facebook. Some groups on Facebook dont update for months. Why bother? Twitter moves fast and if you miss a day or two you could be missing the entire conversation. Twitter moves faster, you make friends faster and you are social faster. If that makes sense.

Uncluttered

I dont think i really need to go on with this point. If you love social networking sites you know twitter is really free of clutter which makes it so much better than other places. Saves your bandwidth.

Straight to the point

Many social networks requires you to hang around a topic to get to a point, it requires you to make friends and be someone that you really are not. A point to proof this is to ask yourself how many friends you have on Facebook? Now ask yourself with how many of those people do you really interact? Not that much. Twitter is different. There is more interaction with those that frequently use it.

Instant

Twitter is instant and as I said straight to the point. There is no days of waiting for a reply from someone, no full inbox and 1000’s of applications to install. If you registered, that’s it. No need for fuss. Its instant.

No ads

Now what can I say. Last time I checked there were no ads.

Really social

A lot of social networks are not really social. They are full of people but those people only want to chat with you to get you to visit their site. Twitter is not like this. Sure you get the tweet whores that add everyone to their accoutns, but if you dont follow them you are still clutter free. Twitter is really social. Yes there are those that only join to get noticed but getting noticed is part of being social. Just without the annoying “please visit my site” crap.

These are just some of the reasons twitter is my favourite social network. I am sure you can find more reasons. Feel free to add them in the comments.
